Method
Tortilla Chips
Prepare the Tortilla Chips
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the Tortilla Chips
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.
Spicy Cheese Sauce
Add Milk and Cheese
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Reduce heat and add the sharp cheddar cheese, diced jalapeño peppers, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Assembly
Combine the Ingredients
On a large serving platter, layer the fried tortilla chips. Top with crawfish tails, sliced andouille sausage, and diced tasso ham.
Add Cheese Sauce
Drizzle the spicy cheese sauce generously over the top.
Finish with Toppings
Garnish with pico de gallo and fried jalapeños. Serve immediately and enjoy your Bayou Crawfish Nachos!
